A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was stabbed in #Southall. Officers were called to St Mary's Ave at 18:41hrs, a man in his 60s was pronounced dead at the scene. Road closures are in place and enquiries continue.

“The ambulance let us down. When we called, they started asking so many questions. So many people were calling the ambulance, the police.

“The ambulance were asking so many questions, they took quite a few minutes, but then his face started to go white and his lips as well.”

London Ambulance Service has been contacted for a comment and said it will look into the claims.

Scotland Yard said police were called to the scene with both the ambulance service and air ambulance.

A man aged in his thirties was arrested on suspicion of murder and held in hospital overnight under police guard while he was treated for minor injuries.

Detectives remained at the scene on Sunday morning, including forensics teams in specialist uniforms.

The street remained cordoned off, together with nearby roads.

Reverend Dave Bookless, the vicar of St Mary’s church, opposite the street, said he believed the ambulance was initially able to drive the victim away, but had had to stop at a nearby park after Mr Isichei’s condition worsened.

“The ambulance ended up stopping just down the road,” he said.

“They were working on him there and trying to resuscitate him but sadly I think the injuries were too severe.

“It’s come as a huge shock. A lot of people are saying this is not the kind of area this happens.

“Although we’re kind of in the middle of urban, multicultural London, there’s quite a village feeling here.

“It happened in broad daylight in a residential street. People are really quite shocked.”

He said the pub, The Plough Inn, was also “very much part of the community”.

“(Mr Isichei) had left perfectly peacefully from what I gather and I don’t know if it happened on his way home, it may have done, but it happened in the street,” Rev Bookless said.
